How often have we said it? Whatever the Political Left claims, the opposite is always the truth. From Women’s rights to Crime Prevention to Poverty to Lowering Health Care Costs. The end result is always the opposite, and that includes CO2 emissions.
“In 2022, high natural gas prices led to significant fuel switching to coal in electricity generation in Europe, although both gas and coal generation increased as the growth of wind and solar was insufficient to fully offset lower hydro and nuclear power output.”
Coal power generation will rise to a new record in 2022, surpassing its 2021 levels. This is driven by robust coal power growth in India and the European Union (EU) and by small increases in China – and it comes despite a decline in the United States.”
The progs attacked clean or cleaner energy in the name of lowering emissions. The result is more coal used to fill the gaps.
I guess the rest of the world isn’t as interested in returning to the 17th century as American Dems.
And so we’re clear, nothing about the green-energy transition is green or has a damn thing to do with emissions. We’ve beaten that drum for years. But this International Energy Administration report is just embarrassing.
In simple English, … the left’s mindless war on the production of natural gas — one the cleanest and cheapest forms of electric power generation — the price of natural gas surged in 2022 in almost all parts of the world.
In other words, despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing fringe energy sources like wind and solar power, the world is nevertheless burning record amounts of coal.
When or if coal becomes a problem they’ll burn more wood. If the wood becomes scarce, they’ll burn whatever burns, none of which is better for the environment than Natural Gas.
Policy aimed at lowering emissions has and will continue to result in more emissions including those from the production use and decommission of the alternatives that cannot (ironically) be made without coal.
Democrats are idiots.
People need to stop voting for them before their voting rights policies reach their natural conclusion – no more voting.
